Watched Gerald's Game this afternoon in glorious 4k SUHD.
Another "based on the book of Stephen King".
Liked it. Interesting. Worth a watch, in my opinion.
Netflix if you have it, piracy of your choice if you don't |

Southpaw 4/10 - Donnie Darko becomes a boxer and gets pimped out by 50 Cent. It's not very good, watch The Fighter instead. |

Cardboard Gangsters - 6/10
* The score is in relation to British gangster films and the bar would most likely be Lock Stock / Snatch
This is set in Ireland and the main guys have strong Irish accents. I'm usually good with them but I struggled to work out what they were saying in parts.
Overall, it wasn't half bad. Sure it wasn't no Lock Stock, there was no real humour or clever plot lines but it was acted well enough to not be garbage.
Worth a watch if you're in to the genre |

Woah! Hold on - I really enjoyed Southpaw. It wasn't amazing, but it was decent. Having said that, I haven't seen The Fighter yet. I'd say give it a try, but watch them in that order
I took the good lady for a cinema night on Saturday. We watched...
The Snowman
The new Jo Nesbo book adaptation. I have the book but haven't got round to reading it yet (I'm working through the series in order) but the trailer looked good, Fassbender is reliably solid and we've seen almost everything else thats on. The film itself looks pretty, has a solid story and great acting, but I was let down. Coming out of the cinema afterwards, the trailers were playing on screens, and half of the stuff in the trailers isn't in the film.
Worth a watch, but a little disappointing (for me) 7/10
Double Date
I'm not sure where, but I saw the trailer for this and because it was due to start 10 minutes after The Snowman, we went and watched this. Home grown comedy horror where a 29 year old virgin is promised by his gobshite mate that he will lose his virginity before his 30th (at the weekend). They end up meeting and arranging a date with two sisters who are secretly serial killers.
It seemed to be very low budget, but the gobby mate was excellent comic relief, a lovely cameo by Dexter Fletcher and it had most of the other people in the cinema (about 15 people all in) in stitches.

Shooter 4/10
Rewatched on a whim, and it's worse than I remembered. Marky Mark ain't that funky, Kate Mara is nothing but diner waitress hair in a push-up bra, and the total lack of chemistry between them makes their scenes feel like a Weinstein private script reading.
On that, the lusciously louche Rhona Mitra is sadly under-used and the sub-plot with her sexist bosses isn't resolved. I was genuinely triggered. Maybe I'm Progressing.
Even Danny Glover doing shome bishare accshent can't rescue what turns out to be a pretty basic, unsatisfying premise.
tl;dr version - the TV series is better, and that ain't great. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
